Gerrymandering benefited GOP in 2016 analysis
The Associated Press analysis shows Republicans won a larger share of seats than votes in 2016 due to redistricting. It reports Michigan, Wisconsin, Florida and others had Republican-favoring maps after 2010 redistricting, with Michigan alone producing a 10.3 percent efficiency gap. The study ties extra seats to partisan line drawing and notes Democratic gains in Colorado and Nevada despite Republican vote shares.
